Child abuse figures are tip of the iceberg
【Data Journalism: Child-abuse figures are tip of the iceberg】
Child abuse is a deep-seated problem in Hong Kong but hasn't been given due attention. Researchers reveal that only 1 percent of abuse cases are officially registered and globally as low as 0.4 percent are known to the authorities. COVID-19 intensified but camouflaged the child abuse problem even more.

Climate action plan -- is Hong Kong doing enough？
Data Journalism: Net-Zero Carbon Emissions by 2050?
“Hong Kong’s Climate Action Plan 2030+” set up a target to decrease carbon emissions by 20 percent in 2020 and 26 to 36 percent by 2030, compared to the baseline in 2005, but the city recorded a fall of only 3 percent in 2019, according to the latest government statistics. Could Hong Kong meet its carbon emissions target at the current speed? Even though the target in 2020 could be met as coal fuels were replaced by natural gas at a large scale last year, what are the new drives to meet the goal in the next decade?

Social enterprises to cover gaps left by govt?
The #HongKong government promotes ‘#SocialEnterprises’ to fix the city’s growing burden of #aging, #housing, #publichealth, and #green challenges. Social enterprises have to generate profits to self-fund for the social good based on free-market principles. The sector lacks formal definition, standardized impact assessments, or independent audits. Promoters urge a robust, social enterprise ecosystem, to include government and corporate procurement, and private investment.

Chronic diseases from the foods we consume？
There’s no denying that #food is closely correlated with our #health. And what we are putting into our mouths might be eating away at our health and life span. We could succumb to #diabetes, #heartdisease, #stroke or #cancer due to excessive consumption of salt, sugar and fat added by food manufacturers to boost the flavor profile, as well as chemicals used in industrial agriculture to produce greater yields.

Online shopping takes off in Hong Kong
#HongKong #shopping used to be considered too convenient to bother using the internet to buy things. Retailers have long been able to secure business without innovating much, thanks to an influx of Chinese mainland tourists keen to hit the malls and the fact that most of the populace in such a compact metropolis enjoys easy access to physical stores.
However, it seems fair to say that #e-commerce in Hong Kong is gradually gaining traction as major brands and shopping platforms are expanding their e-commerce footprints during the #COVID-19 pandemic.
Will the trend become standard practice in the post-pandemic era and give a leg up to struggling local retailers? How can the city leverage the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area to speed up online-to-offline integration?

The rise of #telemedicine faces obstacles in Hong Kong
Densely-populated #HongKong is compact, blessed with district-level health clinics. This convenience, though, has delayed adoption of telemedicine. But the #COVID-19 pandemic has scrambled medical institutions to switch to #online protocols. Is telemedicine only about convenience, or can it make primary #healthcare cheaper and more accessible for everyone? Will the trend become standard practice #postpandemic?

No health without #mentalhealth
“There is no health without mental health,” the #WHO declared. But how mentally safe and sound are #HongKong people? Very poor. The average mental health score in 2019 was 44.6 points, not even close to the 52-point pass mark.
A relentless #COVID-19 has dragged people down even further, with 74% of Hong Kong residents showing moderate-to-high #depressive symptoms and 40% experiencing #PTSD. More worryingly, most people do not seek any professional help, opting to conceal or ignore their issues. But why? #Stigmatization, discrimination and stereotyping are pervasive in a supposedly inclusive and civilized city.

Can HK’s lean #retirement system be upgraded?
Nearly 31 in 100 #HongKong persons 65 years or older are poor, according to Census and Statistics data. A #system that cannot endow a decent golden-age pot to #elders when they retire may be fundamentally flawed. As we all will become older, how to fix Hong Kong’s retirement income system is a matter of great concern to everyone.

#Gender equality — a long way to go
Gender equality has come a long way in recent decades thanks to the heightened awareness of gender disparity and its adverse effects on the #society and #economy. Nevertheless, we are not even close to attaining genuine gender parity.
The #pay gap, power imbalance, discrepancies in #employment opportunities, and a disproportionate number of leadership seats, driven by prevailing gender stereotypes, remain bitterly salient in all societies. #COVID-19 has magnified the #inequality. In the age of a gig economy, where digital and technology skills are coveted, girls and women stand no better chance of being hired than men due to their weakness at #STEM.
